Clock in For Equality - Tuesday, May 15



Even though recent polls show that close to 90 percent of people in the United States think lesbians and gay men should have equal rights in the workplace:
  • There is still no federal law that expressly forbids sexual orientation or gender identity discrimination in the private sector.
  • There is no statewide law providing express protection against sexual orientation discrimination in the workplace in 32 states.
  • There is no statewide law providing express protection against gender identity discrimination in the workplace in 42 states.
What does this mean? You can get fired for your sexual orientation in this country.

On May 15, 2007, thousands of people across the country will do something to support workplace fairness. Click here to learn more.
